Some students at the venerable, all-female Wellesley College are calling for an end to use of the term … women.
A staff editorial in the Wellesley News bemoans the popular on-campus catchphrases such as “Wellesley sisters,” “Women Who Will,” and “Wellesley women,” and asks that instead there be a more concerted effort to use gender-neutral language all around.
In particular, three suggestions put forth by the campus journalists are:
When discussing the student body, say “Wellesley students” rather than “Wellesley women.”
Avoid making statements like “We’re all women here…”
Use gender-neutral language whenever possible in syllabi and other general written communication.

This is getting ridiculous and not in a funny way. The route we’re going none of us will have any identity at all. Even the word “people” will be shunned. “Beings”, “Living Matter”, “Its”, “Equals”.
Maybe they prefer to be referred to by their sex organs - kind of old-fashioned crude to call them “Twa....” or “Cu....”, but if they insist...
Remember, she wouldn’t take Bubba’s name when they got married....until he lost an election and then they decided it would be helpful. Anything for power.
I’m down to “Hey you”
I wonder if a mentally ill make could sue a women's college if he gets rejected by the college! 😋
How about “wench’?
How about Sea Hags?
I’m in. Ha, not meant as a double entendre...
Chicks don’t want us to call them women now?

Having Hillary as a graduate belies the claim that “we’re all women here.”
The “war on women” continues from within the ranks.
How about heifers? Gilts? Ewes?
One of these days, reality will intrude on these people and present them with some real issues to be concerned with.
Ok. Waaaahmen.
Men are usually referred to as “men” or “sorry bastards.”
Women on the other hand have so many monickers it’s hard to keep up.
Whore, slut, bitch, tramp, broad, chick, heifer, gold digger, and on and on and on...
Feel free to add to the list.
Ok how about wench?
Some girls just want to have fun.
These silly vacuous Wellesley women don’t have a substantive brain in their body. If the ship was going down instead of steering it to shore they would be arguing why it was not referred to in gender neutral terms.
